I would not be happy if a cat came into my back yard and was recording me. I understand that I don’t have an expectation of privacy in my backyard but it’s not unreasonable to expect privacy from someone recording me while on my property.

This topic should be moved to the Off-topic forum as it relates to people who don’t own cats.

How so?

One of the reasons we bought our house was because the private backyard.

People who let their cats roam the neighborhood are the worst. They really should not have cats.

The one that I saw had a camera for sure.

And I spend a lot of time in my backyard.

Don’t want your car wandering in my yard. Never understood why people think this makes sense.

I am thinking ofvtraining a cat to climb up to house windows to peer inside. Then put a camera on her.

You mean if the cat takes recordings of people in pools or people in their homes with uncovered windows?

Yes that might be problem.

No

Do you think it’s a violation of privacy or ethics to let your cat roam around the neighborhood with a camera on its collar, especially if it goes into other people’s backyards?
